Internal identifier : 2024026990
Type of procedure : Open
The procedure is accelerated : no
Justification for the accelerated procedure :
Main features of the procedure : The contracting authority needs suppliers to take on end to end responsibility for mediation sales/auction sales. End-to-end responsibility means responsibility for auctioning the material, including settlements, as well as in some cases responsibility for the material from when it is delivered from one of FMA's stores until it is auctioned by the tenderer. The contracting authority also needs tenderers to take on end responsibility for commission sales aimed at countries outside Norway. In cases of commision sales, the chosen supplier will have the liability for the sale. The supplier will be responsible for the sale of various types of material, including vehicles, boats, shoes, jackets, other clothing, kitchen equipment, tents, site machines, electrical equipment, storage fixtures, floating piers etc. Weapons and particularly protective material are exempted from the contract. FMA alone decides which material shall be auctioned off when using the Framework Agreement.
